Fill question



Recommended Posts

I went for my second fill yesterday. I have felt no restriction what so ever from the first fill. When they were checking how much saline was there they found none. Either it did not make it in the port the first time or they said I might have a "leak". This time they put in 2 cc (in a 4 cc band) and I immediatly felt it. It was the strangest feeling. Anyway, that was to much, could not even drink Water, so they reduced it to 1.2 cc. Has anyone else had the problem of it "not being there" after you had a fill. Also, I guess I have a problem deciding what is restriction. Is it when you feel "full" immediatley after eating about 3/4 ounces of food or is it feeling "satisfied" after eating. I have never felt "full" like the full after a binge( not that I want that!) but I am just curious what other peoples experience with restirctions are. Thanks!

I have had one fill and have no restriction. I think it may take multiple fills for some people. It sounds like you are getting there quickly. Good luck.

I have had 2 fills and I know when I need to stop because I get the hiccups. I am then satisfied for about 3-4 hours. I am not sure if I have found the sweet spot yet, but I hope I am close. I have another appt on Tuesday, so we will see what happens then. Good luck and I hope you aren't leaking...
